After months of speculation over the status of their relationship, Gemma Collins has finally set the record straight about her romance with James ‘Arg’ Argent.

The last season of The Only Way Is Essex ended with Arg declaring his true feelings for the GC and the pair agreeing to share a romantic Christmas together. However, it was recently confirmed Gemma will be featuring on the next installment of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, leaving fans confused as to whether the two are really together or not.

The TOWIE star appeared on Good Morning Britain today to address the rumours and, speaking to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, Gemma was quick to deny any romance with her co-star.

Piers joked, “Who is Arg?” to which Gemma replied, “Exactly!”

But with host Piers keen to get to the point, he asked: “Are you dating him not?”

“No,” Gemma replied. “He’s a dear friend.”

“Are you going to date him?” Piers continued.

“No!” Gemma shot back indignantly.

When Susanna asked whether there could be any hope of romance in the future, Gemma avoided the question.

“Do you know what it is? The press keeps writing that he’s in and out of my house every five minutes,” she said.

“The truth is he pops to see Ferne [McCann] because me and Ferne are neighbours, so he pops round Ferne’s, rings me up, “Gem I’m popping in for a cup of tea”.”

Kem Cetinay’s mum has given her opinion on her son’s Love Island romance with Amber Davies…and something tells us she’s not a massive fan of her potential new daughter-in-law.

Kem and Amber’s relationship has been far from smooth sailing the past few weeks, having called it off and then back on again god knows how many times during the course of the show.

Last week, the ultimate strain was put on the couple’s romance when the boys were separated into another villa with a bunch of new female contestants, and it didn’t take Kem long to make a beeline for the silver-haired Chyna Ellis.

Kem soon realised he could not shake off his feelings for Amber that easily, however, and the pair have now rekindled their relationship with one another.

But Amber isn’t in the clear just yet, as she has to win the approval of a sceptical Mother Cetinay first.

Speaking to new! magazine, Figen confessed her concerns over Amber’s intentions with her son.

“It’s hard to watch as I don’t like to see Kem upset,” she said. “He’s a very sensitive boy and although he hasn’t always been happy with Amber, he won’t want to see her upset.”

She continued: “I worry she’s playing a game with Kem and being immature. I think she’s fishing to see what else is out there.”

However, Figen did insist she would support Kem’s decision no matter what. She explained: “If he made the decision to stay with Amber then I would support him no matter what my views are.”

Appearing on Loose Women today (Tuesday, June 13), Caroline chatted to panelists Andrea McLean, Coleen Nolan, Janet Street Porter and Stacey Solomon about the current goings on in the Love Island villa.

The hosts chatted to their guest about the different contestants on the ITV2 dating series. After discussing Camilla Thurlow, who has been impressing viewers with her sweet personality and growing confidence on the show, the topic of conversation turned to Amber Davies.

However, the panel had a slightly different view on this singleton. Pointing out how Amber had lied to Kem Cetinay about Chris Hughes making a flirty comment, Coleen warned the audience of her character.

“Amber is trouble,” Coleen declared.

Referring to the clip shown on Love Island: Aftersun, in which Amber was proved to have lied to Kem, Caroline agreed when she said: “Amber is trouble.”

However, Caroline suggested there could be more to what Amber said than we first thought, especially after the events of last night’s episode.

“But in her defence after we saw Chris’ behaviour last night, has she seen the other side of Chris that we didn’t witness yet?

Geordie Shore‘s Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle has been spotted flirting with Australian TV star Sam Frost, just one week after Emma McVey announced their split.

It was revealed last week that Gaz ended his relationship with Emma via text, before telling his former flame to move her stuff out of their shared home. Now, reports claim the reality star has been getting cosy with his Hell’s Kitchen Australia co-star.

The newly-single celebrity was spotted with Sam in Sydney last week, as the pair got a little touchy-feely during a night out.

According to New Weekly, a source said: “They were pretty chummy. He had his hand around her shoulder.”

This follows his ex-girlfriend’s angry Twitter rant last week, in which she confirmed the break-up and claimed Gaz had cheated on her throughout the relationship.

Sharing a written note with her 23,700 Twitter followers, Emma explained: “I’m going to put this out there now because I keep getting sent photos and videos of Gary with girls, of which are both from when we were together and from now that we have just broken up.”

The Only Way Is Essex’s Chris Clark claims he “didn’t use” Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson

The Only Way Is Essex‘s Chris Clark has opened up about his split from Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson, insisting “I didn’t use her”.

The two stars enjoyed a brief romance together before it was announced onthe ITVBe show that Chris had ended things with Jesy last month.

The TOWIE star has finally had his say on the break-up, admitting he called it quits because he felt “second best”.

Explaining how he was introduced to the singer, Chris told OK! Magazine: “[We met] on Instagram. That seems to be the way to meet girls nowadays! She liked one of my pictures and I thought, it can’t be that Jesy, surely not, but it was.

“And it went from there really. Our relationship came at a difficult time, though, because the band were touring America, so we mostly spoke on the phone. She was only in my life for about three months.”

The reality star continued: “I didn’t understand why she was so interested in me – I’m just someone from TOWIE.

“I always felt like second best, but that was my issue, not hers.

“Jesy and I ended on good terms. I didn’t use her.”

Chris is now back with ex-girlfriend Amber Dowding after the pair reunited on the show last series. Speaking about his and Amber’s split, Chris said: “The time apart gave me time to grow up.

“We didn’t talk for nearly eight months and, during that time, I changed a lot and I think I can be a much better boyfriend to Amber this time around.”

Amber added: “We’ve both seen other people but we’ve realised we’re happiest together.

Megan McKenna reveals all the biggest TOWIE backstage secrets

Megan McKenna has revealed juicy details about the off-screen drama with her TOWIE co-stars.

It has been a drama-filled few months for ITVBe star Megan, who broke up with her on-off boyfriend Pete Wicks in the latest series after a string of furious rows.

The celebrity has now opened up about what goes on behind the scenes and has given reasons for why this was the “bitchiest series” she has ever done.

Speaking to OK! Online, she said: “It’s a shame – I get on with a lot of the cast but this series was so bitchy, it was the bitchiest series I’ve ever done, even over other shows I’ve done like CBB and Ex on the Beach – all of them, it sh*ts all over that.

“I felt like this series, there were a few people that were really supportive but it’s very clear who I don’t get on with, and I just thought, ‘Why can’t they just let me get on with my life, why do they have to get so involved?'”

Megan also spoke about her best friend and TOWIE newbie Amber Turner, insisting Amber was not as upset in the series finale as was portrayed on screen.

“She found it hard coming to the end of the series,” she explained. “I think it looked like she was upset in a lot of the clips at the end and she was, but it was a mixture of things – it wasn’t to do with Lauren Pope.

“It was to do with other people, and she’d had a bit of an argument with some of the people. They can’t show everything because they’ve got to fit everything into an hour.

“With Amber it takes people a bit of time to get to know her – she’s not a horrible person, she’s just honest. The cast need to back off her a little bit, she’s not a nasty person, and they just need to give her a break.”

Relieved to finally have a break from the show now that series 20 has finished, Megan admitted: “I needed the break, you don’t understand how happy I was.

“I turned up to filming with Amber and we just had such a good day. Normally I’m worried about what’s going to happen, who I’m filming with and if there’s going to be arguments, and normally I’m really stressing, but I was so happy, and just kept thinking, ‘Oh my god I’m not going to see some of these people for at least three months, I’m absolutely buzzing!'”

Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson blasts Vicky Pattison: “I was glad to see the back of her”

Geordie Shore‘s Marnie Simpson has opened up about her feud with former co-star Vicky Pattison, admitting she was “glad to see the back of her”.

The two reality stars didn’t exactly hit it off when they lived together in the Geordie Shore house and now Marnie has revealed she was relieved when Vicky left the MTV series in 2014 to appear on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

In her new book, Stripped Bare, Marnie has shared details about her difficult relationship with Vicky on the show. She said: “It would be the understatement of the century to say that Vicky Pattison and I did not get on.

“By series nine I couldn’t stand the girl and I couldn’t understand why the others seemed to like her so much. Vicky was older than all of us, but I don’t think that gave her the right to boss people around.”

Marnie also reckons the rest of her co-stars weren’t all that fussed by Vicky’s exit. In fact, it sounds as though all those tears were put on for the camera.

“So by the time she announced she’d had enough and wasn’t coming back, I was glad to see the back of her,” she explained.

“The others couldn’t stop bawling when she broke the news at our Christmas meal. Off cameras, I didn’t reckon they were that bothered. I tried to hide it, but no one understood how happy I was.”

The Celebrity Big Brother star recently opened up about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Lewis Bloor, confessing he would “often go missing for days at a time” during the time they were together.

Speaking to OK! magazine, Marnie revealed: “From day one I had a gut feeling I couldn’t trust him.

“Lewis would often go missing for days at a time and despite that I didn’t cheat.”

Marnie continued to insist she doesn’t feel any guilt for flirting with Aaron Chalmers on the MTV series while dating Lewis, considering Lewis’ behaviour at the time.

“Aaron is my ex-boyfriend so there was unfinished business but I don’t think I did anything wrong, especially compared to what Lewis was doing at the time.

Charlotte Crosby hints she might return to Geordie Shore

Charlotte Crosby has admitted she wouldn’t rule out a comeback to Geordie Shore.

The MTV series hasn’t quite been the same since Charlotte quit last year following her difficult split with ex boyfriend and co-star Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle.

Now, the Geordie Shore favourite has confessed she would be up for a cast reunion. Speaking to The Sun about a the possibility of a return to the show, she said: “I would never say no for another big reunion like we did back in January.

“If there was another one like that and all my old friends – Holly, James, Jay and Ricky – I would never say no to that.”

This follows the news of Gaz’s split yesterday (Sunday), after his now ex-girlfriend Emma McVey took to Twitter to accuse him of cheating and lying throughout their entire relationship.

She wrote: “I’m going to put this out there now because I keep getting sent photos and videos of Gary with young girls, which are both from when we were together and from now that we have just broken up.

“Whilst he’s been filming Geordie Shore, he decided to send me a TEXT ending things, telling me to move my stuff out of OUR home that I furnished and paid for without explanation.

“After begging me to go to Australia with him and making me leave my career, I still find out he still managed to cheat on me throughout the relationship and continually lie.”

However, Emma insisted she feels positive about the split and sees Gaz’s decision as a blessing in disguise.

She continued: “Within days I’m so much happier without him manipulating and controlling me. A leopard never changes it spots and Gary will always be a selfish narcissist who cares about no-one but his one night stands and himself.”
